Bond Requirement Waived

Contractor Growth

Many contractors limit their growth by trying to get contract bond requirements waived or by avoiding bonded projects all together. As agents, you can help your contractor, especially smaller contractors looking to grow, by getting them in consistent and stable bond relationships. A contractor with clear and consistent bonding relationships is less likely to make other compromises to get a bond requirement waived.

Calling in a favors, or getting an exception from a standard market can be only a one-time solution for contractors and may not help them on the next project. Credit based quick programs may also provide temporary avenues for bonding, however, those programs have size restrictions. If they do not access to larger bond programs the contractor will once again have to try to get a bond requirement waived. CCI Surety is always handling non-standard accounts and can set up a program to consistently meet your contractor’s bond needs as well as help them grow into larger projects.

SBA Bond Guarantee Program

General Information about the SBA Bond Guarantee Program

The SBA Bond Guarantee Program was developed by the Federal Government to help small to medium and emerging contractors gain more access to surety bonds. Surety bonds are required on many projects at many government levels as well as some private construction projects. In order to obtain a bond a surety must underwrite the performance capabilities and financial strength of a contractor. The SBA Bond Guarantee Program is designed to limit the risk to a surety on contractors that fit in the program. This generally allows a surety bond underwriter to approve more bonds for smaller contractors that might not have otherwise qualified on their own for bonding.

Contractor steps to enter the SBA Bond Guarantee Program

CCI Surety will determine if the contractor qualifies for the SBA Program based on the size of the contractor and the size of the project among other factors

CCI Surety will provide any documents required to enter the program during the underwriting process and throughout the contractor’s time in the program

The contractor is not required to be involved in any other SBA Programs

CCI Surety will provide invoicing, collection and payment for any required SBA Fees

WE MAY BE ABLE TO QUOTE COMPANIES WITH CREDIT SCORE OR OTHER FINANCIAL ISSUES.
